Product
Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp (BEKP)
Bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp is the core fiber for tissue, printing, packaging and specialty paper producers worldwide. Suzano’s BEKP delivers high uniformity, softness and bulk for converting efficiency; Suzano’s pulp capacity stood at about 9.6 Mtpa in 2024 and products are FSC and PEFC certified with tight quality control. Offered in standardized grades, dedicated technical service teams support runnability and furnish optimization to boost yield and reduce breaks.
Fluff and Specialty Pulps
Suzano supplies eucalyptus-based fluff pulp for absorbent hygiene and airlaid, engineered for high absorbency, bulk and bonding; specialty dissolving and engineered grades serve textile and specialty markets. With global absorbent-hygiene demand growing ~5% CAGR through 2028 and fluff pulp demand near 3 million tonnes, Suzano co-develops specs with converters to hit performance targets.
Printing, Writing, and Paperboard
Suzano supplies uncoated and coated papers for office, publishing and commercial print and paperboard for packaging, folding carton and consumer goods, engineered for consistent caliper, opacity and printability. The portfolio spans basis weights from about 60–350 g/m2 and multiple formats to serve converters and distributors.

Price
Benchmark-Linked Pulp Pricing
Benchmark-linked market pulp pricing (2024–25) ties contracts to regional reference prices in China, Europe and the US with periodic monthly or quarterly resets; adjustments account for grade, fiber quality and delivery terms, while volatility-management clauses and scheduled review frequencies limit sudden price swings.
Value-Based Premiums for Specialty
Fluff, specialty pulps and FSC/PEFC-certified grades capture value-based premiums, with pricing tied to measured performance, yield and ESG credentials. Customer trials quantify total cost of ownership benefits to justify premiums and shorten adoption cycles. Tiered offers align to segments from commodity buyers to high-value specialty users.
Contract Structures and Discounts
Suzano sells across spot, quarterly and annual frameworks alongside multi‑year offtake agreements, leveraging its ~11.7 Mtpa pulp capacity (2024) to negotiate volume tiers and loyalty incentives. Contracts routinely specify FOB or CIF freight terms and product bundling across pulp grades and eucalyptus lines. Pricing structures include tiered volume discounts, and commercial contracts embed penalty/bonus clauses tied to quality specifications and delivery adherence.
Risk and Currency Management
Suzano prices pulp in USD while actively hedging BRL exposure where relevant; USD/BRL traded near 5.0 in mid-2025, underscoring FX risk.
